Today we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We took advantage of the opportunity for a personalized van tour to the bottom of the face of gigantic sculpture. We were able to walk out to where his finger eventually will be carved. It was an incredible experience in an incredible place. The vision of the artist and his family is truly inspirational. After we left there we went into Custer to get a few provisions including dark chocolate since our Schakolad supply has run out!
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
